    MArquez who fought as high as 135 had to move up 2 divisions to fight Floyd at 144. Floyd still doesn't even bother making the weight..Even though he had a massive advantage already at 144 even (size, strength, age, speed, skill, etc). So, Manny demands if he goes over he get a MASSIVE PENALTY.
    Manny pac who never tested positive in his life for steroids is accused of it by his opponents father, and he won't get a fight unless he takes random tests.

    Yeah, pot calling the kettle black. One man it's been documented in his last fight doesn't make weight. Another man it's never been documented he's ever been on roids.
    That sound fair to you?

    What an idiot... :-(

    Primenal, Joshua Clottey is notorious for not making weight. He has come in overweight multiple times. Where is his $10 million per pound clause?

    I agree with you that Mayweather had no proof. I agree that Floyd could have let it go. But if we're going to talk about and respect Manny's principle, we have to talk about and respect Floyd's as well.

    Actually, I'm not entirely sure, but I think a lot of those fights where Clottey officially weighed in over 147 actually had upper-limits above the welterweight limit (such as against Corrales, where the official weight limit for that fight was 149).

    I agree with you here, but if you look deeper into it, he may have changed his position due to the lack of knowledge as to how an olympic style drug test takes place. Hell, we already know by now that Manny is oblivious to many things that don't take place in the ring.

    Agreed. It's like a ****in soap opera. It almost seems like they regret walking away from the fight and now they are trying to make up for their mistake by making it seem like they are the ones with the bigger balls than Mayweather. At least Floyd is now deflecting interviewers' questions about Pac. He automatically changes the subject to his match with Shane. On the other end Team Pac can't stop yapping about Floyd.

    It's better to just stop babbling and tell Floyd to go fist himself. Even if they get a match with him, they'll have to concede to even more harsh stipulations which is not even worth it. If Floyd beats Shane, good luck with getting a 50/50 split!

    why would a fight so big as being considered as a fight of the millenium should only happen in three months??they predicted it to have the highest ppv so why not promote it for 6 months to make it certain that it really reaches to its full potential

    Nobody!!!

    No side signed the contract yet as it had not reached that point.

    Contracts can only be signed by either parties when the stipulations or details are both agreed upon.
